Between the Perspectives
"but in your future, the you i see is exactly the person you always wanted to be."
Supplies have been loaded onto the ship, and the captains have encouraged all crew members to explore with the added notice that this will be the last planetary stop (hopefully) until the Moira reaches the Midway Hub. While seemingly uneventful on the Moira, the mini colony has been thrumming with adventure and has offered its visitors the opportunity to explore. To those who have indulged, some experienced great changes and others discovered enlightening information about the Ingress and the very ship some have called home for over a year.
Later in the month, the Lamaria hold the closing ceremony of the Desiderium Festival (which was noted on the prior event log) . The burgundy and lime colors of the celebration slowly fade into black and vermillion, and small fires are now in place for visitors to throw their written notes into. Everyone who participates will be blessed by one of the Lamaria (they will visit the ship as well), and the MID will be able to only translate bits and pieces of what this blessing means. "Experienced loss — every story is different — and saying goodbye — not to know — understanding lies in the mingling of holding on and letting go."
☄ TRANSFORMATION CENTRAL For some, it might be due to a touch or a look. For others, it might not be any of those things at all, and something that just happens. Either way, shortly after the blessing occurs, you will find yourself changing. Your character’s body will slowly transform into the physical likeness of another being on the Mini Colony. The effects of this change may last as short as a day or as long as a week, but each come with their own stipulations—advantages and disadvantages. This is limited to one as the blessing itself only allows for “a little understanding”. Linked below are some of the possible transformations that your character can go through. Players can choose either one of the mod-supplied suggestions or choose the form of another already living on the Moira.
☄ THE FEAR MACHINE Paranoia writes the checks, we're dangling here like a marionette. Here we go again, the world is coming to an end. Engage the fear machine and collect the dividends.
While the festival is beautiful, and some have found enlightenment and understanding here, there are those on the mini colony who don't enjoy the festivities. In a secluded room on the fifth floor in one of the buildings in the Science District, there is one such person who finds the religious festival to be a nuisance—one who should be stopped. Thinking that disrupting the blessings and celebration will somehow "get back" at the Lamaria for impeding their work (some of those who have transformed got into the building a few years ago and destroyed this person's property). Pettiness thrives, and they create something they dub The Fear Machine. Yet, while the science is sound, the technology itself is not.
In the middle of the mini colony, the machine is set off, and bolts of transparent energy erupt and spark out around it, stretching as far as the docked ships. Since the technology wasn't created properly to sustain the energy, it doesn't spread out evenly like they had hoped. Some are hit. Some are not. Those who are will develop a sudden and overwhelming phobia that will last well into the beginning of November. The machine might be turned off and left behind, but the obsessive fear has only just begun.
( ooc; For questions, go here. This log will run into the beginning of November; any threads here can be claimed for bonus activity the following activity check as well. )

It's the best...being able to feel the warmth of someone else. Instead of just gauging their weight against you and taking comfort just from the fact that you know they are close and touching you.
He doesn't answer for a moment, too lost in the hug and how happy he is to be this way.]
Mm...mmhm, I did. I don't know how this could have happened, but it's such a gift, I love it!
no subject
Best to stay positive. It wasn't like being human was a bad thing. Just different.]
It feels kind of weird... you're really warmth though. I'm still getting used to not having any fur so everything feels kind of cold right now.
no subject
[That much is true; Mettaton's been on a glorified adrenaline rush since he found out he was human. He's definitely warm. It's pleasant, though he's starting to get a little worn out, so maybe it's better that he found Asriel like this.
He can sort of wind down from his own hyperactive glee.]
At least something interesting came out of this. I...I think I'm actually happy!!
no subject
[Asriel's reply is sleepy and mumbled, but the invitation is gladly accepted. Have a face smushed into your chest, Mettaton. Asriel's excitement may not be there, but he is happy for Mettaton.]
Well in that case, I'm glad it happened to you. You seem like you're a lot better at this whole being human thing.
no subject
[It's a bit of a joke, but there's some dark hidden humor in there. Idly, he finds himself running his fingers through Asriel's hair, much like he would do otherwise. The only difference is that this isn't fuzzy monster fur and big floppy ears, just human hair. Weird.
Not unpleasant. None of this had yet become unpleasant.]
Do you want to stay here? I can take you to your room if you're tired, sweetie.
no subject
Mmn... no moving.
[He could probably fall asleep here and he might judging by how he keeps shifting across Mettaton's lap.]
Maybe hot drinks would be nice though?
[Which would require moving but he might move for hot chocolate.]
no subject
[Mettaton doesn't know any good warm drinks though, so...the onus is on Asriel to enlighten him. Otherwise, he's happy to stay here. He's just...happy in general.]
no subject
Wait, have you had hot chocolate before? Um, I don't know if robots can eat or drink, but if you haven't we should do that! You need to try it!
[Well... he's more awake now?]
no subject
No, I haven't! I haven't really tried anything yet, actually! I was distracted by the changes, and I suppose I didn't put a single thought as to what I could do like this!
Maybe we should go make some right now~
no subject
Yeah, let's go make some! It'll be better if we make it with milk, and I'm not sure if they've got marshmallows here but that'd be even better if we could find some of those too...
[Asriel starts to push himself, a little unbalanced from nearly falling asleep a moment ago. His legs are a lot shorter now, dangling off the side of the couch. He's about Frisk's height in this body.]
no subject
Give him some good shit to try.]
Ooh!! Marshmallows, you say~? Those have always looked quite good!
[The ex-robot doesn't really ask before scooping Asriel up into his arms. It's...definitely weird. He's never felt this much drag from the weight of a child. But Asriel's small and disoriented and Mettaton is obviously helping.]
no subject
[Well you can... but what kind of barbaric society do you have to live in to have hot chocolate without the marshmallows? Though Asriel supposes whip cream is an equally good substitute if there's no marshmallows around.
Asriel won't protest being picked up. Mettaton's warm enough right now that it's stopped his shivering and the floor is much colder than Asriel remembers it being.]
no subject
...Ahaha, where is there, anyway? I'm not very good at locating places where organic beings decide they want to eat. Or drink.
Actually, I should probably eat too, shouldn't I? That is a thing that humans do, is it not?
[All the while, he's walking out of the lounge. He can't help that he has so many questions, really, all of this is a new experience and he hopes he gets to enjoy as much of it as possible, because doubtlessly, the shenanigans would reverse.]
